The final day of the Premier League season is expected to throw up plenty of twists and turns, with Manchester City or Liverpool set to be crowned champions.
Following the latter’s 2-1 victory away to Southampton on Tuesday night, it means City head into Sunday a point clear of their nearest rivals and will need to beat Aston Villa to secure a sixth Premier League title.
Meanwhile, Liverpool also face a side from the West Midlands, with Jurgen Klopp’s men hosting Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield.
The final day of the season always provides opportunities for players to become heroes and this season is no different, especially after the title tussle City and Liverpool have provided over the last nine months.
But who could ultimately decide where the title ends up? We’ve picked out some of the more interesting characters and sub-plots which could determine who finishes top of the pile…

5. Jack Grealish
The man who left Villa last summer to win silverware is on the verge of collecting his fist winners’ medal by beating Villa - how about that for a narrative? Grealish said in the build-up that Sunday’s game just ‘had to be’ against his boyhood club.

6. Douglas Luiz
The ex-City midfielder now plays for the Villans and could be the man to end the champions’ hopes of retaining their crown.

7. Philippe Coutinho
A Liverpool great who now plays in claret and blue, the 29-year-old was part of the group at Anfield who were beaten to the title by City in 2014.

8. Mohamed Salah
One goal clear of Heung-min Son in the race for the Golden Boot, there may be two reasons for Salah to celebrate at the weekend. Alternatively, could his desire to wrap up a personal accolade impede Liverpool’s chances?
